Engine

Even the V60 Magnesium engine that powers the Factory has benefited from many improvements introduced to boost performance and achieve Euro 3 homologation at the same time. The new engine puts out 105.24 kW (143 HP) at 10,000 rpm and develops a maximum torque of 103 Nm at 8,000 rpm. The exhaust system now has external catalytic converters that are installed nearer the collector pipes to cut activation time. The Factory is homologated to Euro 3 standards as a result, meaning lower emissions than ever before.

COMPONENTS

An exclusive two chamber steering damper from Ohlins Racing’s competition range is fitted as standard. The damper is adjustable to adapt steering response to all possible riding conditions. Extensive use of carbon fibre components makes the bike far lighter as well as more refined. The mudguards and various fairing parts are made of extremely light woven black carbon fibre. The RSV 1000 R Factory also features a steering pin in aluminium instead of steel to help reduce weight.
The exclusively designed forged wheels deserve special mention. These wheels are one of the most distinctive features of the bike, not just in appearance, but in technical specifications too. Finite element analysis was used to identify the best possible wheel design. The result is a six spoke front wheel and a five spoke back wheel with ‘Y’ profile spokes forking at the rim to provide two anchor points each.
